Q (the chef behind the scenes) & I love making all different kinds of burgers, primarily with ground chicken or turkey. In my opinion, chicken tastes better & doesn’t dry out- plus it’s cheaper than ground turkey most weeks at the grocery store! We had wanted to try out our idea for quite some time & I’m happy to say we finally bit the bullet burger! This hybrid of delicious chicken wings & grilled burgers did not disappoint. They’ll be a staple on our summer burger menu!

For the burgers, mix the first 6 ingredients together and form into 6 equal sized sliders. Heat oil over medium-high heat in your sautee or grill pan. Grill the burgers 6-8 minutes per side. Spoon slaw on each bottom bun, placing a burger on top, sprinkle with bleu cheese crumbles & drizzle with your favorite hot sauce (we used Frank’s.)

To make the slaw, whisk together the vinegar, ketchup, sugar & hot sauce (of your choice.) Add the carrots and cabbage, season with salt & pepper, taste & adjust seasonings to your liking.
